  • Begin October layout ( no more than 30 minutes ). Began at 2:15. From 2:15 to end recovered Chronicle documents for G Drive from Dropbox and my flashdrive. Will look at home for other documents on my home computer and old flashdrives. Will request any archivable documents (stock photos, PDFs of past issues, etc.) from Mrs. Shirley and past editors-in-chief if contact can be made.

Because I am not an organizer of the wiki, I cannot change the names of the pages once I have made them. The page "Article Types: News, Features, Sports, Editorials, and Reviews" needs to be changed to "Article Types: News, Features, Sports, and Editorials".
